Abstract
A drive transmission apparatus includes a first gear for transmitting a driving force to a first rotatable body, a second gear for transmitting the driving force to a second rotatable body and a third gear to which the driving force is transmitted from a driving source, the first, second and third gears being coaxially arranged. A first connecting member passes through the second gear and connects the first gear and the third gear. A cylindrical second connecting member is supported by the first connecting member located inside the second connecting member and connects the second gear and the third gear. The arrangement is such that the fluctuation in rotating speed of the second gear may be transmitted to the first gear through the second connecting member, the third gear and the first connecting member.
